Why Animals on Farms Don’t Resemble Their Wild Counterparts, Teen Activist Rescues Baby Cow on the Verge of Death From Dairy Farm, Let's get 3 bile bears out and close this farm & #TheySufferWeSuffer: A wake-up call.

You are asking why we chose this hashtag? Because 3 out of 4 new or emerging infectious diseases in humans come from animals, meaning they are zoonotic diseases. For years, scientists all over the world have warned us that the way in which we treat animals is a serious risk factor in the outbreak of zoonotic diseases. Not only Covid-19 but also SARS, MERS, Ebola, BSE and HIV are a result of a dysfunctional relationship between humans, animals and nature. Watch the report today on SAN TV.

Millions of people have died as a result of #COVID19. This is THE wake-up call to change the system and create a world where animals, the environment and humans are treated better. Together we can prevent future pandemics! Sign our petition now to make animal welfare a global priority.

Police: Suspect sought after shooting, pursuit in NE Salem; 2 dogs killed. Five dogs were struck by bullets when they were in the back of a car near a reported shooting, police in Salem, Oregon shared. Multiple shots were fired around midnight and officers saw a car “speeding” away according to police.

Officers quickly took the adult dog and puppies to an emergency veterinary clinic after the incident. Sadly, two of the dogs died. While several vehicles had been shot, police said that there were no injuries to humans during the shooting.

The Salem Police pursued the suspects but they drove into a field and then fled on foot. Police searched for a few hours in the area, but were unable to locate them.

Police say that the investigation is ongoing. The Salem Police Department requests anyone with information to contact 503-588-8477.

PETA Exposes Abuse of Baby Monkeys. The University of Washington’s Infant Primate Research Laboratory doesn’t offer tours or release videos of its abuse, so PETA gathered footage of similar experiments from similar laboratories. Watch the report today on SAN TV.

Blind and in pain, Princess endured unimaginable suffering as the lenses of her eyes slowly deteriorated. Poor Princess' condition was so severe, she had surgery to remove both eyes. The LFT Urgent Need Fund helps dogs like Princess get the care they desperately need.

Princess is a resident at Cochise Canine Rescue, which saves senior, handicapped and chronically ill dogs from the kill list at public shelters. The rescue received an LFT Urgent Need Fund grant, which covered the cost of Princess' surgery and more.

Sick and injured dogs around the world need food, veterinary care, a warm place to sleep, and a whole lot of love. Make your gift to support the Urgent Need Fund and help them get the care they deserve.

Every day, abused and neglected dogs, cats, and other animals face life-threatening emergencies, forcing rescue groups to make tough decisions. Funds are often scarce, and medical costs steep. That's why Lady Freethinker created the Urgent Need Fund -- to help animals get the treatment they need.

Animals' lives are at stake; your support is needed to help save them.

We've Taken Action to Stop Idaho's Wolf Slaughter

Idaho officials just issued a death sentence for 1,300 wolves — 90% of the state's wolf population could be killed as soon as this summer.

So we've asked the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service to disqualify Idaho from receiving federal funding for wildlife management.

You can help this fight for wolves and other imperiled species with the Saving Life on Earth Fund.

Dogs Writhing in Pain—Help Save Someone’s Skin

In a Chinese slaughterhouse, the floor runs slick with blood and the air is thick with terror.

Dogs condemned to this living nightmare cower and whimper as they watch workers bludgeon one helpless animal after another before tearing their skin off.

Tremendous pain and fear lies behind every belt, shoe, or glove made with animal skin.

Will you help us end such misery by making a gift to PETA’s “Save Our Skins” challenge right now? Our deadline is 30 June. Help power our hard-hitting campaigns against the global skins trade!

Our eye-opening investigations are persuading consumers to protect dogs, cows, and other animals by swearing off cruelly obtained leather. We know how to inspire compassion, and your support right now will help us have the greatest possible impact.

After hearing from PETA and our affiliates, a growing number of brands (and even luxury icons!) are shedding exotic skins—protecting reptiles from languishing in dank, putrid pools before workers bash in their heads or scramble their brains. Your gift will help keep our momentum going.

We’re drawing attention to the suffering of lambs, sheep, and goats abused for wool, cashmere, and mohair—and encouraging a wave of consumers to leave such misery out of their closets. Please help us work to expose cruelty and drive down the demand for wool, fur, and all animal-derived materials.

Consumers and savvy companies are embracing sustainable, animal-friendly fashion like never before. But we can’t rest on our laurels as long as anyone still faces agony and a terrifying death at a market or slaughterhouse supplying the global skins trade. We must ramp up our critical work to protect them.

Please join and be a part of the “Save Our Skins” challenge right now! Through this special challenge, 100% of your gift will support PETA’s work to end the hideous global trade in animal skins, fur, wool, and feathers.

Yeoju Jeomdong, Shut down the illegal dog meat farms, slaughterhouses, markets, restaurants...

KoreanDogs.org started this petition to Yeoju Jeomdong-myeon Director Eom Gyeong-Suk and it now has 2,389 signatures

Yeoju Jeomdong-myeon, South Korea, Shut down the illegal dog meat farms, slaughterhouses, markets and restaurants.

In Yeoju there are countless dog farms, slaughterhouses, markets and restaurants where the dogs, who are tortured their entire lives, end up being slaughtered in the most inhumane ways, such as by electrocution, hanging or beating; and then thrown into boiling water – sometimes while they are still alive. In many places, dogs are being killed in full view of other terrified, caged dogs; and this takes place in public and in broad daylight. In addition, many abandoned and stolen former pets end up in this industry, and are subjected to the same cruelty.

There are plentiful evidences that the illegal dog meat industry exists in Yeoju. Shown below are two search results on Naver (the most popular search engine in Korea) – the first one was for so-called “Health Food Shops” which commonly sell dog elixirs and cat elixirs (also known as dog soju and cat soju); and the second one was for “dog meat restaurants”.

The searches resulted in: 92 Health Food Shops; and 72 dog meat restaurants in and around Yeoju.

Even if half of these ‘Health’ Food Shops and restaurants serve dog and cat ‘ingredients’ in one form or another, just imagine how many dog/cat slaughterhouses must be present in and around Yeoju in order to supply all of these outlets.

We can stop baboon torture in Namibia. But we need your help!

In Namibia, baboons are treated as vermin. They are shot by farmers, caught by humans and their body parts used for traditional medicine. Many baboon mothers are killed, leaving innocent babies orphaned and defenseless.

Baboons are clever, family-orientated creatures who have as much of a right to live on this planet as we do. Abusing and torturing them is barbaric and disgusting, but that is exactly what happens in Namibia.

“Boy” the baboon chewed off his leg to escape a trap…
only to be trapped and tortured again!

The ‘recipe’ saw her thrown into a fire for ritual purposes and retrieved alive as she screamed in pain. Then an ear, finger or toe was sliced off, to be used in a potion.

Boy, a young baboon, was caught in a steel-jawed trap. He fought so hard for his life that he freed himself by chewing off one of his back legs. Can you imagine the agony the poor creature must have felt? Don, it gets worse...

Boy got away and headed into the wilderness, but crippled and whimpering in excruciating pain, he was spotted, quickly recaptured and chained up. Our Namibian partner, the Co’Lu’Bi Sanctuary, was alerted by an outraged witness, and volunteers made the tough three-hour journey through a desert to investigate. When they reached Boy, he was still chained with the bone exposed from what was left of his leg. He was crying inconsolably for his mother.

Boy was rushed to a vet who had to amputate his leg just above the knee, then the Co’Lu’Bi Sanctuary took over his rehabilitation.

Another baboon, four-month-old Lulu, suffered an equally horrific ordeal. She had been captured and kept alive so she could be tortured in preparation of traditional Namibian ‘medicines’.

Lulu was then left to suffer until her body was needed again. The process would have been repeated until she died. Don, such cruelty boggles the mind.

Co’Lu’Bi saved Lulu, and she is now at the sanctuary, safe from further harm. But Lulu is just one of the scores of baboon babies flooding the shelter, saved from similar fates. This is just SO WRONG. Baboons live much like us, living in social groups, fiercely loving and protecting their young. But they are inquisitive, clever and can be mischievous thieves; they love dashing into houses and helping themselves to any food they can find. This gets them into trouble. In Namibia, the poor creatures are punished for the crime of being who they are.

So many injured baby baboons are arriving at the shelter that the volunteers can’t cope. As soon as they arrive, these babies need medical care, diapers, food and love. The love is free, but medical care and supplies are not. We have promised to help raise funds to provide for the baboons' needs, but we can only do so with the help of animal lovers like you. Please, if you possibly can, help today. Every little bit helps.

The Co’Lu’Bi Sanctuary is located in an extremely remote corner of Africa where supplies are expensive and difficult to get. But medicines, such as antibiotics, and supplies, such as bandages, are essential for the baboons to recover and have a chance of being returned to safe areas in the wild when they get better. It’s a long and difficult process, but the good people who run the sanctuary possess the rare and necessary skills to help integrate the babies back into wild troops.

Our partners have an amazing connection with the baboons at the sanctuary - one that we have never seen before! Every day, they walk with the baby baboons, supervising them as they forage in the wild. When the babies are strong enough to be released, they are handed over to a resident wild troop in the area to raise as their own.

The Co’Lu’Bi Sanctuary gets no help from government and struggles to meet all the baboons’ needs by eking out of its meager resources to the absolute limit. They have turned to us for help, and we promised to ask our supporters for assistance. So please, Don, if you possibly can, donate to Network for Animals today so that we can give Lulu, Boy, and all the other rescued baboons, the vital care they need to heal as they prepare to return to the wild.

TAKE ACTION!
